Now and Then.
Journal from studies in France.

2021 notes: In 2014, and again in 2016, I was able to go to France and study with several master artists. In 2014, it was with Ted Seth Jacobs, and in 2016 with Michelle Tully at Studio Escalier. Because of COVID, Studio Escalier began online instruction in 2020. So, I’ve been able to study with Michelle online since then…but with no weekend trips around the country. Still, I’m glad to be able to continue studying with Michelle.

Ted, a great teacher and artist, celebrated his 90th birthday when I was there in 2014, but his health was in decline and he passed away several years ago. It’s was a great learning experience for me. I’m so grateful to have had that time.

When there, I took lots of photos and travelled whenever possible. The photos and related comments here are simply reminders for me of these excursions and serve as a type of journal and a memory keeper.

Part Three: Marquessac, Rocamadour and Fenelon

May 11, 2016

Playing photo catch-up—April 26, 27 and 28. Time is flying—the series here are still from the travel week between sessions. Along the Dordogne, Marqueyssac is a chateau with acres of gardens perched high on cliffs overlooking the river. Not too far away in the Midi Pyrénées, Rocamadour is an almost vertical medieval village. With a history going back to prehistoric times, Rocamadour is a major pilgrimage town on the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James).  Late in the day, still in the Périgord noir—stopped by Château Fénelon for a quick visit before they closed.
